Now this is a guy I would like to buy a few beers.
Go and read this:
Money quote:
the Finnish High Command decided to give him a special award: a custom-built Sako M2/28-30 Sniper Rifle of Headshots +3. He put this to good use, killing the ever-loving shit out of anyone that crossed him
OK, I have to post that again.
killing the ever-loving shit out of anyone that crossed him
killing the ever-loving shit out of anyone that crossed him
killing the ever-loving shit out of anyone that crossed him
That makes me feel all squishy inside, It does.
Simo Häyhä is a guy after my own heart. he put it on the line, protecting his home, and he KICKED MAJOR ASS.
The lesson learned from this? don’t come where I live and try to take me out. I know the terrain, I know the escape routes, I know the area better than anyone you can imagine. And I’m an excellent shot.
Stop on by, Al Quaeda.

Ha! That is AWESOME. I love the Finns — my family hosted a couple of Finnish AFS students years ago, they’re still part of the extended fam. One sent my dad a real Finnish sauna stove, Dad built the requisite cedar lined sauna house for it, so we enjoy a totally Finnish sauna in So Cal every time we go home. Followed by a roll in the snow if its winter. And my mom still makes Pula (Finn style cinnamon rolls) for my kids every Christmas — nothing like them.
I’d damn near pay to see AQ come over here.
og,
I understand the sentiment, believe me. I’d like nothing better than the chance to rack a few rounds of 00 buckshot into the sternum of a few of these terrorist asswipes.
Sadly, though, it’s not like they’re going to come over here with tidy outfits with “AQ” printed on them; my guess is we’ll only know, much like 9/11, long after the fact.
In a straight-on fight, we’d exterminate the whole lot of ’em in about, what, an hour? Which, in a funny way, makes their claims to being in a “holy war” where if they get killed they go straight to nirvana for their 72 virgins, complete and utter bullshit.
If they *REALLY* believed that they would go straight to heaven if they died in battle with infidels, they’d take us straight on…
505 confirmed kills.
That is fuckin’ awesome!
Ok, Marianne, tell us more about pula.
